Abstract: This invention provides an image input apparatus which allows easy positioning between an original and a camera head and can improve operability in a document photographing mode. An image signal obtained by an image pickup unit is input to the apparatus main body, and the signal processing of the input signal is performed. The apparatus has a camera head arranged at the distal end side of columns coupled via a plurality of joint portions, a signal processing unit incorporated in a base of the apparatus main body that supports the proximal end side of the columns, and a cable which is arranged along the columns and connects the camera head and the signal processing unit. When an image signal is input from the camera head to the signal processing unit, the optical axis direction of the camera head and its angle about the optical axis are adjustable via the joint portions. When the angles defined between the joint portions are set to be 90°, the input image size can be set to be A4 size. The camera head has a lens portion which allows a rotation operation, and an index that can indicate its rotation operation state is arranged at an appropriate position on the outer surface of the lens portion. The column is supported by the base via a third joint portion, a bottom plate and a weight are electrically connected to each other, and a signal processing circuit board is arranged between the bottom plate and the weight. An index indicating the direction of the camera head with respect to the base is arranged at least at the center of the front surface of the base. The apparatus is arranged so that the route of the cable does not interfere with the pivot axes of the respective joint portions when the cable is laid.

Abstract: A display controller assists a host processor in decoding MPEG data. The display controller receives YUV data in non-pixel video format from a host CPU and perform the otherwise CPU intensive task of rasterization within the display controller. In addition, the display controller may use its internal BITBLIT engine to copy U and V data from one line in a BITBLIT operation to adjacent lines, so as to replicate U and V data. A byte mask preserves Y data on the adjacent lines from being overwritten. At the end of the BITBLIT operation, the display controller generates a signal indicating that the frame buffer has been filled with new data, and thus display controller automatically switches to reading from the newly written frame buffer.

Abstract: There is disclosed a pressure sensitive label roll comprised of a composite label web having a carrier web and labels releasably adhered by pressure sensitive adhesive to the carrier web. The outer wrap of the label roll is adhesively secured to the inner wrap to hold the outer wrap in place until the label roll is ready to be used, and this adhesive holds the labels of the inner wrap to the carrier web of the outer wrap more weakly than the pressure sensitive adhesive holds the labels of the inner wrap to the carrier web of the inner wrap. This prevents labels from being delaminated from the inner wrap when the outer wrap is unwound by the user.

Abstract: An ophthalmic pachymeter which is highly effective in aiding in the determination of thickness and the optical density of the cornea of an eye on a real-time basis. The pachymeter therefore lends itself to effective employment in aiding in radial keratotomy and other surgical procedures with respect to the eye. The ophthalmic pachymeter of the invention has three major subsystems which include a television camera, a multiple slit projector and an associated processing and display system. In a broad form, the invention comprises illuminating a selected portion of the cornea, moving a slit across the cornea and generating Tyndall image ray paths for enabling analysis of the optical density of the cornea and the thickness of the cornea. This is accomplished through a series of digitally-encoded television images of the optical section of the cornea produced by a multiple slit projector and which images are then subjected to digital analysis. A locus of each of the significant elements of the reflected image of the anterior portion of the eye is defined. In this way, the optical character of the cornea/air interface is compared with the corrected reflectance of the stroma and the endothelium, in order to determine relative transparency. In accordance with the present invention, it is possible to determine physical contour parameters of a portion of the cornea of the eye by using a pair of slits so that distance measurement between portions of the eye can be obtained.

Abstract: In a remote control system having a transmitter (1) and a
receiver (2), a rolling code (A) is ciphered to generate a ciphered
rolling code by repeating, n times, an exclusive-OR operation on
a constant code (X) in a rolling code table and the rolling code
as well as a Maximum shift keying. A key code specific to each
control system is used as a constant code (X k ) at the k-th
exclusive-OR logic operation so that the k-th exclusive-OR logic
operation becomes different from system to system resulting in
different ciphering method for each system. The key code is set
in an EEPROM (19) in the process of control system production so
that the rolling code (A) may not be deciphered even by a design
engineer as long as the key code is kept undisclosed.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for delivering agents across cell membranes are disclosed. The compositions include an agent to be delivered, a viscous material, such as a hydrogel, lipogel or viscous sol, and, optionally, a carrier that includes a ligand that binds to or interacts with cell surface receptors. The agent to be delivered binds to or otherwise interacts with cell surface receptors, is attached, either covalently or ionically to a molecule that binds to or interacts with a cell surface receptor, or is associated with the carrier. Agents to be delivered include bioactive compounds and diagnostic agents. The compositions have an apparent viscosity roughly equal to the viscosity of the cytosol in the cell to which the agent is to be delivered. The rate of cellular internalization is higher when the viscosity of the viscous material and that of the cytosol in the cell are approximately the same, relative to when they are not the same. The compositions enhance cellular entry of bioactive agents and diagnostic materials when administered vaginally, nasally, rectaly ocularly, orally, or to the respiratory or pulmonary system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a biometric verification system
for use e.g. in an ATM (10). When a user wishes to use the
ATM, the system scans a biometric feature of the user such as
the iris of one of his eyes (32), and produces a diffraction
pattern of that feature. The diffraction pattern is compared
against a reference matched spatial filter in a Vander Lugt
optical correlator (70). If the diffraction pattern and the
matched spatial filter match then a correlation dot is
produced, and the user is authorized to use the ATM (10). 
     For a user to be able to use ATMs that comprise this
verification system, he has first to use a recording system
that produces the reference matched spatial filter of the
biometric feature.

Abstract: FET protection circuit (10; 100) senses the temperature of
a FET (11) and, via a control circuit (24), increases FET
conduction in response to sensed FET temperature exceeding a
high temperature threshold (160°C) close to the maximum rated
junction temperature (175°C) of the FET. This allows the FET
to survive excessive drain-to-source voltages which occur
during load dump conditions even when load dump is sensed by a
zener diode (26) which initially turns on the FET. During load
dump after a zener diode (26) turns on the FET, in response to
sensing excessive FET temperature the FET is turned on harder
so as to reduce the drain-to-source voltage (VDs) and minimize
power dissipation during load dump thereby protecting the FET.
Normal overcurrent and maximum temperature turn off circuitry
(44, 33, 60-63) is effectively overridden by high temperature
threshold turn-on circuitry (50). Preferably, a majority of
the control circuit (24) is provided on an integrated circuit,
but an external resistor (31) allows effective adjustment of
two temperature thresholds (150°C, 160°C) above which control
signals provided to the FET will be modified.
